And that's what should be reported as a bug.  My apologies for a lack of 
clarity.

It is unfortunate that even with EL7 it seems to not be doing exactly 
what it says it is going to do; I would personally prefer a 'distro-sync 
force' that would reinstall everything from the selected repos no matter 
what, but a 'yum reinstall \*' does pretty much the same thing.  That 
last command, though, will try to reinstall all packages, even those 
from local sources that aren't in any repo; --skip-broken can help yum 
flow through those, though.

Before a full yum reinstall I would back up all configuration files.
